I saw a big bunch of posts around here discussing the use of VPNs or i2p to torrent. As I seldom download something, I wasn't too much worried about using my IP. Now I'm using an arr stack and that kicked me in the way to protect my connection a little better. So, what are you all using nowadays for your torrenting?

I’m a bit lazy tbh. I just use NextDNS (which likely does fuck-all). But, I’ve yet to receive any notice, and that’s all I’ve used for a long time.

That won’t hide your IP at all.

it does do a good job of filtering out ads and trackers, though

but yeah, might wanna get something that protects your IP too

It doesn’t shield your IP but it’s sick for ad blocking in and out of the house.

Oh yeah it’s great for ads. I love never seeing any. I get confused now when people talk about them lol
